Synopsis
We admire beauty; we recoil from bodies that are marred, disfigured, different. Didier Cros’ moving, intimate film forces us to question what underlies our notions of beauty as we join a talented photographer taking stunning portraits of several people with profound visible scars which have dictated certain elements of their lives but have not come to define their humanity. The subjects' perceptions of themselves are dynamic, unexpected, and even heartwarming. This is an unforgettable journey to be shared with the world.
Scars (2018) is a 1h 6min documentary feature film by Didier Cros. We admire beauty; we recoil from bodies that are marred, disfigured, different. Selected for Raindance Film Festival (2019).
